Chapter 205 Luke’s Public Display of Affection!
"Miss Bea... is that true?" Rainie looked at Bianca with her tearful puppy eyes.
Bianca lowered her head, kissed Rainie's forehead, and tousled her hair.' No, I won't ever think of you as a nuisance."
Perhaps Bianca's tone of voice might have been too serious. Not only was the young girl utterly convinced, but her words had
even startled Jason, who was driving.
Jason considered himself a weathered man who had seen all sorts of people, from the noble and mighty to the wretched and
despicable, in his many years working with his boss. He thought that he was very well-versed in reading another person's
character and could easily tell a truth from a lie.
At that moment, Jason could not sense any hint of untruth in Bianca's words.
He could not help but steal a glance at Bianca through the rearview mirror. For a fleeting instant, he thought that he was looking
at the two children's birth mother...
In A City Hospital.
When Old Master Crawford woke up, he did not see his grandson or his two great-grandchildren. Instantly, he began to worry.
Allison went over at the first available moment and tried to plant ideas in the old man's head. "Father, do you want to call Luke
and ask him?" "What should I ask?" Old Master Crawford replied in between bites of his breakfast.
The nurse who was spoon-feeding Old Master Crawford kept her head low and dared not to speak. She knew that the family was
not an ordinary one.
"Don't you know how crazy young people can get these days? I've underestimated what Bianca can do. I'm sure that Luke must
have gone to that small town to look for her!" Allison might not understand her son well, but she knew what despicable lengths
Bianca could go.
No man would have been able to withstand the charms of that woman!
Old Master Crawford did not appreciate Allison's tone of voice, though he shared Allison's worry about what might happen.
If a man and a woman did not control themselves while they were alone, it was easy to make a big mistake.
"Give me the phone," Old Master Crawford ordered Allison, “Call Luke's office first."
Allison had called Luke's office earlier. No one answered the call, and it was diverted to the secretary's phone.
Allison dialed the number in front of Old Master Crawford and turned on the speaker.
Again, no one answered the call.
The result was the same after several tries.
Old Master Crawford furrowed his brows. He looked at the phone and said, "Dial Luke's number."
Allison did not want to make the call. Even if she did, her son would make up an excuse to end the conversation.
It would be different if Old Master Crawford were the one speaking.
Luke was not one to go against his grandfather, especially when his grandfather was bedridden in the hospital.
Very soon, the call was answered.
The person who answered the call was Jason. "Good day, Madam Tanner," he said.
’Jason? I'm Luke's grandfather!" Old Master Crawford spoke loudly and clearly into the phone.
"Old Master Crawford! Can I help you with anything?" Jason replied politely.
"Where's Luke? Why did you answer his phone?" The old man was suspecting that his grandson had gone off to do something
shady.
"It’s like this, Old Master Crawford. We're at a small town surveying the area for a future development project. We're here since
early in the morning to meet with several people from the town council, and we're so busy that we haven't had a drink of water
yet."
He continued, worried that Old Master Crawford did not believe him, "You haven't been traveling for several years, Old Master
Crawford. How about I take a video of the surroundings for you? You can see how beautiful this place is, and I would also like to
request your precious opinions. Mr. Crawford has always kept you in his mind, and I believe that he will appreciate your thoughts
on the matter!" ’Take the video then!" Old Man Crawford did not want to look at the scenery but rather what his grandson was
doing.
His pride was also satisfied when he heard that his grandson wanted his opinion!
As he spoke, Jason turned on the camera and took a panoramic video of the scenery around the river. There were hills and thick
vegetation, and the air was fresh, unlike the city.
Jason explained in the video. "Do you see the mountain in the distance, Old Master Crawford? It is famous for its mushrooms,
and we'll bring some back for you. It's currently harvest season for mushrooms, and I believe they're just as good as Italian
ones."
Jason sent the video to Old Master Crawford in the hospital.
In the video, Luke and the town administrators were standing next to the river, pointing at the distance and talking about
something. They wore serious expressions on their faces.
The other workers were almost nowhere to be seen.
Old Master Crawford was relieved after watching the video.
He had seen those town administrators on the news before and had even had dinner with several of them. Jason could not have
faked it.
Town administrators would usually keep a close eye on development projects that affected the entire town. As the boss of T
Corporation, Luke would necessarily have to accompany them to survey the landscape of the town, as well as accompanying
them for business lunches and dinners. He would not have any free time for himself until late in the night.
If that were the case, he would not have the time for romance.
Old Master Crawford handed the phone back to Allison and spoke to her solemnly, "As Luke's mother, you shouldn't always be
suspecting your son. With so many people around, Luke should know what to do even if he has the intention..."
Allison's hand was trembling with anger when she took the phone.
In the small town, at the river.
Luke was briefly explaining to the administrators the changes to the town brought by the development project.
Meanwhile, Bianca was holding Rainie's hand in one hand and her work laptop in the other. She was keeping a close eye on
Lanie, who was very excited upon seeing the river.
The river was flowing fast. It would be dangerous if the child fell inside.
’There’s a fish, Miss Bea!" Lanie excitedly kicked away his shoes and wanted to run into the river.
Bianca and the two children did not see Luke, accompanied by the group of town administrators, heading toward their way.
’Don't try to catch the fish. Come back here, Lanier
Bianca had to let go of Rainie's hand and put the laptop down. She rushed over to grab Lanie.
The river bed was full of uneven stones. Bianca nearly tripped when she managed to pick Lanie up... but she was grabbed to
safety by a solid wall of muscle behind her.
Bianca was grabbing Lanie, who was squirming like an eel, but the fish had swum away... 1
She turned around and saw Luke's face. His domineering and unrestrained masculinity enveloped her.
He wore a sullen expression on his face, wordlessly reprimanding his son in Bianca's arms. Lanie cowered timidly when he
turned around and saw his father's face. He wanted to apologize but did not dare to make a sound.
Luke's hands warmed Bianca's waist. His thin and sexy lips almost touched her earlobe. ' Are you hurt?" He asked.
